COCKER SPANIEL: A BREED ALL ITS OWN

I’m searching for the perfect dog. Of course, “perfect” is in the eye of the beholder. That can be seen on any given day at Petland Naperville, where they can have up to 100 (or more!) different puppies for sale. This gives me a great place to observe many different breeds of dogs in one setting. Today I watched a Cocker Spaniel. I was somewhat familiar with this breed, since my parents owned one many years ago. I decided that rather than rely on my memory, I would speak with a Pet Counselor about them. She told me that the Cocker Spaniel is a breed all its own. There are actually TWO breeds of cocker spaniels—the English Cocker Spaniel and the American Cocker Spaniel. For simplicity, most people just refer to both breeds as simply “Cocker Spaniel.” They are the smallest members of the Sporting Breeds, and used to chase birds (including the woodcock, its namesake).

PETLAND PUPPIES: SEE THE DIFFERENCE

I’ve been visiting Petland Naperville for a little while now. Every time I have a question on any particular breed, there is a knowledgeable Pet Counselor who will find the answers for me. I know that there are other puppy stores out there, but I can tell you this in all honesty, with Petland puppies you can see the difference.

THE BOXER, A LOVER NOT A FIGHTER


I’m searching for the perfect dog. Of course, “perfect” is in the eye of the beholder. That can be seen on any given day at Petland Naperville, where they can have up to 100 (or more!) different puppies for sale. This gives me a great place to observe many different breeds of dogs in one setting. Today I watched a Boxer. I decided to speak with a Pet Counselor about this puppy, because this puppy was all muscle and movement. I wanted to know if this was an aggressive breed or not. She told me that the Boxer was a lover, not a fighter, and that she could go on and on about what a great breed the Boxer is. READ MORE...

I’ve been visiting Petland Naperville for a little while now. Every time I have a question on any particular breed, there is a knowledgeable Pet Counselor who will find the answers for me.

After my visit, I have decided that this is the place to adopt a puppy. In fact, the Pet Counselor that I spoke to knew the best dog breeds for kids, and could back up her statement with quite a bit of knowledge. READ MORE....

WHAT’S A MORKIE?

I’m searching for the perfect dog. Of course, “perfect” is in the eye of the beholder. That can be seen on any given day at Petland Naperville, where they can have up to 100 (or more!) different puppies for sale. This gives me a great place to observe many different breeds of dogs in one setting. Today I watched a Morkie. I was unfamiliar with this breed, so I called over a Pet Counselor and asked her, “What’s a Morkie?” I think they get this question often, because this is a beautiful mixed breed that you can’t quite place the origin of, or you simply think that you’re looking at a Yorkshire Terrier instead of a Morkie.
